Pancake guy!

Lunch: Cannibalism! Ha Ha! From vegan to eating this little
guy!

Shirt: Stuckeybowl- something from the ED TV show. It’s got
the NBC logo on the front pocket, so I’m assuming this is some kind of
promo/employee shirt.I bought it on my
bowling shirt buying bonanza 2013.

First easy-peasy pancake recipe:

¾ cup Bob’s gluten free pancake mix.

1 cup hemp milk

½ tablespoon olive oil

¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/3 cup canned organic pumpkin

Makes about 5 fairly good sized pancakes.I like adding the pumpkin pie spice; it makes
the pumpkin egg substitute really pop. And yes, this is the Bob’s recipe on the
mix just modified. I like to give credit
where credit is due. I CAN make my own mix, but Bob’s is soooo much
easier.If I’m in the mood, I add about ½
teaspoon of Vega protein smoothie mix, it mixes with the pumpkin and really, really
makes a tasty flapjack.

The chocolate “hair” is my go to chco-avocado mousse.

1 RIPE avocado,

¼ cup carob powder

¼ cup raw organic blue agave

¼ cup unsweetened non- dairy “milk”- I used hemp. It’s my
new favorite- much creamier than almond or any other.

It’s important that you use a ripe avocado, nice and mushy.
Alsounsweetened milk, if not the mousse
will be too sweet! Just put in
everything in a food processor and whip away until smooth.

I mixed some whipped cream into the pancake guy’s “hair” to
make it lighter…. Sort of streaks of gray! Ha ha! The whipped cream is easy-

1 can Thai Kitchen unsweetened coconut milk---refrigerated
overnight.

3 tablespoons raw coconut sugar

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract.

Combine in a mixing bowl all the ingredients, but scoop all
the milk at the top of the can. Be careful and don’t get too much of the
coconut water at that has settled to the bottom of the can. Too much water will
make the cream too watery to enjoy. Then enjoy whipping it good. (Devo
reference there) I use unsweetened coconut milk. It’s better to add sugar than
have it too sweet. AND! I’ve used all sorts of brands of coconut milk and find
Thai Kitchen to be the best. It really separates well overnight in the cold-
Goya is cheaper but doesn’t separate.

I had fun building this little dude. It would be fun to do
this with kids…. The only things really non-breakfast-y is the pepper handlebar
moustache and the tofu whites for the eyes. I enjoyed eating the fruit scraps- the
strawberry, the rest of the banana.….and the pineapple slice.
